BAD: The light in ours doesn't seem very strong although other reviewers seem to have a different experience. The overall height seems small, doesn't seem like 7" but I haven't measured. The design makes it hard to enjoy the fish scene if you use it in a low-height wall outlet. Best for small rooms like bathroom.
NOTE: The warning sticker says the fluid the fish are in is highly flammable/combustible.

Recieved this product in standard fasion with no problems. Plugged it in, and it operated correctly for up to 2 days. During the day, the nightlight turns off due to a photo sensor on the bottom of the unit.The nighlight stopped working after only 2 days. It had not been abused, and there is no particular reason it should fail, other than it is a poor product.
Although this product has received many good reviews, there is a small number of reviews what reflect what I have experienced. It would be interesting to see if this product is still working for the other positive reviewers after a week or 2. At the very least, this "expensive" night light should last several years. Instead, it worked less than 48 hours (of which it actually only operated half that time at night)
It's also interesting to note that this product is indicated to be a General Electric product. But when I look on the nightlight, there is only the name "Yuan Chang Jao. If this is a general electric product it isn't the first time I've been disappointed at poor quality GE products. They may make good jet engines but their electronics are horrible (which is quite ironic considering their name).
If you like gambling, and perhaps wasting your $$, then this is the product for you.
UPDATE: Since I had nothing more than a paperweight, I decided to take the light apart to try to troubleshoot. After drilling out the weird screw (which incidently is a backward threading i.e. righty -loosy) access to the interior was gained. It was observed that the solder connection on one of the outlet prongs had broken. This appears easy to do since the outlet prong is not totally secured, but does move slightly. So in the process of plugging in, or taking out, you can move the prong slightly, thus breaking the solder joint. I grabbed my soldering iron, and put more solder on the connection. I closed the case back up, and installed a short wood screw, which actually worked well going back into the original screw hole. I plugged the light back in, covered the light sensor, and vola.... it turned on!
Lessons learned: 1) poor design 2) avoid too many "plug-ins".

This light casts a great array of vivid colors w/out being too bright. In fact, I don't think its glow is a bright as the typical "yellow" glow cast by most night lights. Too bad the fish don't move as the light changes color, but that's not a big deal. Overall, a very nice item. Will be good to use when traveling and staying in hotels where you need some type of light to guide you in a dark room in the middle of the night.Honest reviews on GE 10908 Plug-In Auto-On/Off Color-Changing LED Aquarium Night Light
We bought two of these. One of them caught on fire. Seems like the sensor shorted out. Luckily we were in the room when it happened and not asleep at night. I'm not willing to risk keeping the other one. It's unfortunate since it was very pretty and convenient that it turns off and on with a darkness sensor.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for GE 10908 Plug-In Auto-On/Off Color-Changing LED Aquarium Night Light
